Is it something one would need to take a class or two in order to use, or could one conceivably just buy the shit and figure it out. Let's assume we're talking about somebody of above average inelligence.

you can do it, its not difficult...plus myself and bill are pretty damn good at the in's and out's of it. are you looking at buying a light version, and if so, what year?

I'm not familiar at all with the different versions/years available. Drawing my pools by hand is getting fucking old and my drafting table takes up too much space, so I've been thinking about looking into AutoCAD.

basic site layouts = cake walk. if you can draft on board you can do it in AutoCAD.

not worth the hassle for what he's trying to do, but i agree, Arc GIS is fucking $$$. I wish my line of work let me use it a little more often.

Yeah, sucking dicks behind the five and dime for a living don't require very fancy cad equipment.

I have a pencil with no eraser, and I can draw a mean stick man.

Re-boot.

[Raiden]

Thanks, cLaY. I'm fid'n to go check out what they have at the drafting supply shop. Hand drawing for hours is fucked, especially when some hausfrau decides she wants to move the pool a couple feet.

Thought about using Visio?
I use CAD as well. You can figure it out, but Visio is much easier

I don't really know what Visio is. But, a couple years ago I bought "Pool Design Software" and the dude said it was Visio-based as opposed to CAD-based and therefore easier/better. The program is a fucking joke and I can't do shit with it. It's not just a matter of me not being able to use it, though. It comes with several examples of plans and they just look look amateurish to me. Huge waste of $1K.
